<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am having issues importing a shapefile using v.in.ogr</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Using basic command v.in.ogr dsn=shapefile layer=shapefile name output=elev</div>
<div> </div>
<div>getting the following areas for every entry</div>
<div> </div>
<div>GRASS_INFO_WARNING(29..,50..): Area size 6.5e-11, area not imported.</div>
<div>...</div>
<div>[warning sign] area size 6.5e-11, area not imported</div>
<div>...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>THe shapefile was generated by a Greenstar 2 GPS receiver (John Deere).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are many columns in the shapefile (30).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How can i limit the number of columns i read in, and how to set which column is the elevation column (or is ELEVATION okay)?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am assuming it has something to do with the way the shapefile was genereated and the precision/length of the numeric fields in the database???</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please can ayone help with this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also what is a good .dbf viewer for KDE?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Ed</div>
